Adolf Hitler’s “Mein Kampf” will soon hit German bookstores — the first time the infamous manifesto has been printed in the country since the dictator’s death.

The copyright for the 1924 Nazi tome is now held by the state of Bavaria in Germany but will expire at the end of 2015.

In January, Germany’s Institute for Contemporary History will publish a new, heavily annotated version of the Führer’s “My Struggle” autobiography.

“I understand some immediately feel uncomfortable when a book that played such a dramatic role is made available again to the public,” Magnus Brechtken, the institute’s deputy director, told the Washington Post.

“On the other hand, I think that this is also a useful way of communicating historical education and enlightenment — a publication with the appropriate comments, exactly to prevent these traumatic events from ever happening again.”

Old copies of the book have been stored in a “poison cabinet” in the Bavarian State Library, where officials consider requests from anyone who wants to see one, the Washington Post reported.

“This book is too dangerous for the general public,” library historian Florian Sepp told the newspaper.

The institute defends the new, 2,000-page reprint, saying it will serve as an important academic tool containing criticisms and analysis. Hitler’s original was 700 pages long.

But others are slamming the upcoming publication of the anti-Semitic book, which was never actually banned in Germany.

“I am absolutely against the publication of ‘Mein Kampf,’ even with annotations. Can you annotate the devil? Can you annotate a person like Hitler?” said Levi Salomon, spokesman for the Jewish Forum for Democracy and Against Anti-Semitism in Berlin, UPI reported. “This book is outside of human logic.”

Charlotte Knobloch, head of the Jewish Community in Munich, said she didn’t strongly oppose the project at first, but changed her mind after talking to aghast Holocaust survivors.

“This book is most evil; it is a worse anti-Semitic pamphlet and a guidebook for the Holocaust,” she said, UPI reported. “It is a Pandora’s Box that, once opened again, cannot be closed.”
